WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Sept.
29, 2012) - The William and Mary football team capitalized off seven
Georgia State turnovers to earn a 35-3 victory against the Panthers on Saturday
evening at Zable Stadium.

W&M (1-4, 1-2) scored four of its five touchdowns off
GSU's (0-5) turnovers and held the Panthers scoreless during the final three
quarters. Additionally, the College outgained Georgia State, 413-249, and piled
up 312 rushing yards.

Individually, sophomore running back Keith McBride II
totaled a career-high 163 rushing yards on 25 carries with a pair of
touchdowns, while sophomore running back Darnell Laws rushed for 67 yards on
six carries with a score. Sophomore quarterback Raphael Ortiz was efficient
directing the offense, completing 8-of-13 passes for 101 yards, while also
rushing for a pair of scores.

GSU got on the scoreboard first with a 37-yard field goal by
Wil Lutz midway through the opening quarter.

W&M had an opportunity to tie the score on its ensuing
possession, but junior Drake Kuhn's 45-yard field goal attempt missed wide
right. The kick would have equaled the longest made field goal of his career.

An 11-yard touchdown run by McBride gave the Tribe a 7-3
lead midway through the second quarter. The Collierville, Tenn., native's first
touchdown of the night capped off a six-play, 56-yard drive that lasted just
2:29 and began when Coleman recovered a fumble caused by senior linebacker
Jabrel Mines.

The College increased the lead to 14-3 when Ortiz found the
end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run with 0:18 remaining in the first half. The
sophomore quarterback scored just four plays after Tamakloe recovered a muffed
GSU punt at the Panthers' 11-yard line.

Four of Georgia State's seven turnovers came in the opening
half, while W&M outgained GSU, 170-131, in the opening 30 minutes.

Although W&M was forced to punt on its opening
possession of the second half, it scored touchdowns on its next three
possessions.

Laws put the College ahead, 21-3, with a 26-yard touchdown
run with 5:36 showing in the third quarter. The quick four-play, 52-yard drive
lasted just 1:46 and began after junior defensive tackle George Beerhalter
sacked GSU quarterback Ronnie Bell and forced a fumble that was recovered by
Stinnie.

Following an interception by Tagoe in the end zone that
halted a GSU drive, W&M marched 80 yard in nine plays to increase the
margin to 28-3 with a 36-yard touchdown run by McBride.

Ortiz tacked on the contest's final score, his second of the
night, on a 6-yard run with 7:22 remaining.

Georgia State was led offensively by running back Donald
Russell, who totaled 107 rushing yards on 21 carries. Bell finished the contest
13-of-26 for 157 yards with four interceptions.
